With the addition of Maryland and Rutgers, the Big Ten announced its division alignments Sunday, which will go into effect in 2014.

The East Division includes Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State and Rutgers—all schools in the Eastern Time Zone. The West includes Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern, Purdue and Wisconsin. Each school in the West resides in the Central Time Zone, except for Purdue.

In 2014 and 2015, each school will play the other six in its division plus two teams from the other division, for an eight-game schedule before expanding to a nine-game conference schedule in 2016.

During even-numbered seasons, East Division teams will have five home games and in odd-numbered seasons, the West gets five.

“Big Ten directors of athletics met in person or by conference call six times from December to March to discuss a new Big Ten football model,” Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said in a statement. “The level of cooperation and collaboration was reflective of what we've come to expect from this group of administrators who have worked extremely well together on a number of complex matters over the past several years. We are all looking forward to ushering in this new era of Big Ten football.”
